2×2 Matrices with smarts on one dimension
Tom Peters’ discussion of the smart complexifier can be summarized in the following matrix (see also the full article in Tom Peters’ blog).
| Simplifier | Complexifier | |
| Dumb | Might actually be of help | Can be ignored without harm |
| Smart | Analyst from heaven | Analyst from hell |
This reminds me of the following classical matrix from the IDF, classifying army commanders:
| Lazy | Industrious | |
| Dumb | Harmless | Most damaging |
| Smart | Creative | Best kind |
